I'd add that, while going to a class when you're afraid of "not looking as good" as the other students could be a great growth opportunity, if you don't think you can fit a class into your schedule you can always get one of the many thousands of yoga instructional DVDs, or even watch free videos on YouTube. Personally, I started my yoga practice with a DVD several years ago and eventually moved on to taking classes. Thanks for this Stacey.

I really appreciate it actually because it is something I've been meaning to integrate into my life for quite some time. I did try it a few times. I went to a 90 minute class which was a bit long for me, felt great at the end, and then could not move for three days after!! Ha! Eventually, I will get out there again and go consecutively to get over the soreness. Anyway, anything that can dispell my fears helps so thank you for this!! P.S. MizFit--what a great site!

I'm not afraid to admit it. :) Yoga must be practiced by me every day or I don't enjoy life as much as I should. Some days I only get 10 minutes in, but at least I keep my streak going. There is a lot of fear still held in western culture about Yoga. We need to keep educating, with articles like this one, so more and more people practice and enjoy the benefits.

Great to see you here!! {Struggles with the handstand} --> he raises his hand. Why do I NOT do yoga? I don't think I look fully enough at the "big picture" of what yoga can do. Maybe better said - I don't look at it in the realm of being a holistic approach to wellness. The connection at different levels. Hmmm.... Stacey!

Given that the poses seem to me more static than dynamic stretching? Belated question: Does one need to warm up before doing yoga?

It's a great challenge for me. I have to be in the right frame of mind, I'm very overweight and it can be intimidating, if I let it, it's my judgments of myself and everyone else that can make it hard for me to step into a yoga class. If I can check MY preconceived notions at the door I do just fine! :) Then I have to block out everyone in the room and focus on me and how I move and progress with my poses. It often moved me to tears when I realized what I could accomplish in that room! It was a wonderful feeling of freedom. Not judging myself, not comparing myself to anyone. Well maybe comparing the progress I made from week to week! But that's a good comparison! :) I love Yoga…when I do it! It’s a great challenge for me.
